A 5 day Lofoten Islands Itinerary

Tjeldbergtind hike, Lofoten Islands

There are no rolling hills in northern Norway; there are sharp crags and volatile skies. Although the lingering, glowing sunlight signals that summer is well underway, the weather may be disinclined to follow. Nevertheless, the Lofoten Islands are a serene departure from the Norwegian cities and a must for adventurers and nature lovers. Just look at Instagram for a glimpse into the rugged beauty of the place!​While hiking in the Lofoten Islands is challenging, hikers who dare to take on the mountains are rewarded with expansive blue-tinged views over the ocean and the kind of fresh air that invigorates you from the inside out and reminds you what life is all about. Just make sure you are well-prepared for the hikes (unlike my hiking accomplice. More on that later…)
